Curiosities
On celebration days, chestnut flour was used to prepare the so-called castagnaccio, a characteristic and well-known cake with an unmistakable aroma cheering up the month of November, and not only. Unlike panella, a simple version of the same product that was almost exclusively prepared in the mountain areas, castagnaccio could also be found in the town. It can still be found from the autumn months, together with farinotti, farinata, panissa, and vegetable pies.
